A writer at a major golf publication has resigned after claiming that his editors demanded he exclude the pro-Christian and pro-life views of golfer Amy Olson, who is competing while pregnant.
According to writer Steve Eubanks, formerly of Global Golf Post, his editors “went ballistic” after learning of the content of the interview and vowed that the piece would not get published unless Eubanks removed the pro-life and pro-Christian portions.
After his editors revealed their demands, Eubanks claims he quit.
Eubanks told the Blaze, “Several back-and-forth phone calls took place on this, and finally, the editor in chief called and said, The only way we will run this piece is if we take out the abortion and the Christian stuff, That last line did it for me.”
Eubanks told TheBlaze that when he filed the story with Global Golf Post’s editorial team, the staff “went ballistic.”
“About five hours into the editing process, I got calls from the editor saying, in his exact words, ‘The staff is going nuts. They’re saying we can’t run this,'” Eubanks said. “I was fighting very vociferously to get it run, saying, ‘It’s news; we’re a news outlet.’ And the point I wanted to make — if she had said exactly the opposite, I still would have fought to put it in.”
The piece was supposed to run the morning of the first day of the Women’s Open at Pebble Beach, he stated.
“Several back-and-forth phone calls took place on this, and finally, the editor in chief called and said, ‘The only way we will run this piece is if we take out the abortion and the Christian stuff,'” Eubanks continued. “That last line did it for me.”
